Yeah, I know the feeling. I was supposed to be shooting two films right now; Damien Frost and it's sequel The 2012 Effect. You know what happened? The local producers in the area jumped ship so they are not getting made anytime soon. So, I am now spending my own cash to finance Maze of Thought.

You're 19 and you've already been engaged twice? When I was 19 I was nowhere near mature enough to get engaged. Honestly I'm 26 now and I don't think I'm mature enough to get engaged.

And this was the cheapest of three features I have in development, one being an adaptation from a New York Times Bestselling Author. I thought that one would be the easiest to get funded but that proved to be wishful thinking since I've been trying to get that one off the ground for six years. So I'm sitting on three really good scripts and can't do anything with them at the moment. Anyway, good luck to you with Maze of Thought. I hope it comes to fruition for you. |

But my second engagement has been going good since October when I popped the question. What the first engagement was missing was the emotional commitment. It wasn't really there at all and with my fiancee, we both feel it and we both acknowledge how much was love each other and all the other things about love. Quote:
I had my first film pitch when I was 15, back in May 2005. I did a pitch to an indie studio out in Ohio and I pitched a film called Hallelujah. It was a police/detective drama about hunting down a serial killer. When I did the pitch to one of the head guys at the studio, he liked it and gave me the green light to write the script for them and take my time with it since they were all ready busy with their next project. So, about a month and a half later I had a majority of the script written. It probably needed about another 30 pages and it would have been completed and the studio went bankrupt and they closed and that was that. So, in shock and horror, knowing that the script wasn't going anywhere, I have never completed the script for Hallelujah but I have re-visited the pages I've written for inspiration. I had my second deal last year with Uwe Boll and that was just a can of worms I should have never gotten myself into. That man is the king of arrogance. I was to write the script for Janjaweed which is now retitled Darfur. Pretty much it's a pointless two hour massacre film that takes place in the Sudan. There was no real plot nor character development in the treatment that Uwe Boll wrote. Uwe wrote a seven page treatment that basically described how he wanted poor Sudanese women to get raped and infected with HIV and AIDS; children getting slaughtered; and men getting limbs hacked off by machetes from the rebels aka the Janjaweed. You know who he told me he wanted for the lead in the film? I s*** you not, he wanted George Clooney. He wanted me to write a script that would attract big name actors and I gave that script 150% when I wrote it; just to have it thrashed by a man who did not like that I added all the character development to the story. Due to creative differences, I left the project and I took my script with me. Since I cannot do anything with that script since it's not based off my work; I am redeveloping it into a real serious dramatic film that is about finding the will to survive in Darfur through the hellish conditions that the Sudanese men, women, and children face. On Damien Frost and The 2012 Effect; I wrote them back in December and March and planned filming mid-April through mid-May. Yes, two films in one month. I wrote Damien Frost as a Blair Witch/Cloverfield type film where it's all from the point of view from the video camera which was something that I always wanted to try doing. So I figured that something like that can be shot in a good two weeks if it's done properly. I was planning to shoot it second and do The 2012 Effect first. I had about 3 people interested in producing the films and they were all like; "These are going to be great! Let's go out and make it happen!"; etc, etc, etc. They bailed on me when it got down to start casting back in March. So, I was really; and I mean; REALLY pissed off that this had happened. One was doing work with VH1 for Antonio Saboto Jr's dating show; 'cause a has been actor is all the rage for reality tv. The other left for Europe. And then the third one just never really gave a damn about the projects. I was S.O.L. I am still planning on making those two films but just right now there is no way I can do them on a small couple of thousand dollar budget. I am moving to Ohio here in the next couple of weeks. I wrapped on the script for Maze of Thought a couple weeks back and I am almost finished on the scripts for The Alpha Experiment and Damien Frost: Affliction. I'm planning on shooting in July and spending a month after filming to do editing and then shooting the next movie and repeating that cycle. I have a lawyer and in our contracts we have it stated that the actors are not really going to get any money until after said film is released and the studio can make money off of it. Casting hasn't started yet on Maze of Thought, but casting is almost finished on The Alpha Experiment. The stuff I am doing right now is going slow but steady which is the kind of pacing I need for right now so I can get better at doing full length feature films. I even have distribution in line for Maze of Thought; hopefully if all goes well with the studio, we can have my other stuff released by them. |

Thanks, man.
Pretty much, I'm using all my advantages at the moment. I have an uncle who is a lawyer so he's helping me with the releases and contracts. My parents own several houses so that helps me with locations for filming. Plus with the actors, it's stating in their contracts, not exactly like it but, an I.O.U. and we are going to pay them after we can make money off of the film. I have distribution in line for Maze of Thought, so all is looking good at the moment. |

I know the economy is bad right now but my suggestion to you is to go after your dream if it is at all feasible. I see so many who don't do it and continue to talk about being unhappy with what they are doing (I'm not saying this is you). Anyways, it sounds like you are in your 20's but if you are married and have children that could make it a bit more difficult. Anyways, heres hoping you can go after your dream. Cheers! |

Hey... all of these filmmakers in here and I'm an actor trying to secure some work that could net me an agent and/or union qualification.
I don't want to force myself on you all, so I'll leave it up to you. If you are interested in adding me to your roster of potentials for future productions, drop me a PM and I can get your hands on my current demo reel. ![]() I should add that I'd be willing to travel and work "abroad" for nothing more than lodging if the role was significant enough. ![]() Last edited by Petra_Kalbrain; 05-07-2009 at 11:09 AM. |

Well lets be fair, a retard cross between a pig and donkey (I call it a ponkey), would no doubt have a greater understanding and respect then Uwe Boll will ever have for it.

Ok, back on me talking with Boll. I had asked him how much videogame to film copyrights cost and if he wasn't blowing smoke up my ass then I am going to paraphrase Jaws with an Icanhascheezburger image: ![]() This is what he told me how much: ![]() If this is true; after I have several films made, I am going to go after one of my childhood favorites if someone doesn't all ready have the rights to it: ![]() Last edited by OrlandoEastwood; 05-11-2009 at 09:11 PM. |
